It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches (70 cm) long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller,” police quoted the ad as reading. > No offers were made for the child in the two hours and 30 minutes the ad was posted on Tuesday. EBay later deleted the posting, but assisted police in tracking down the parents. > > Several people who saw the ad alerted police. ---

Huge ripoff. You buy the damn thing for $1.57 and then the money it takes to raise it from now till its 18 is nearly $1,000,000. ---
